In /etc/postfix/master.cf, I have:

maildrop unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/local/maildrop/bin/maildrop -d
${user}@${nexthop} ${extension} ${recipient} ${user} ${nexthop} ${sender}

maildrop requires only the -d parameter, for a standard, default configuration. None of the other nonsense is required.

The additional parameters mean that the "instructions" you've read are really some homebrewed hack job of integrating maildrop into the mail server, so the best place to ask for help is wherever you found the instructions that you've followed.

My filter rule for my email address is stored in:

-rw------- 1 vmail vmail 323 2009-06-29 18:28
/home/vmail/.mailfilters/b0@esben-stien.name

In the manual, it says not to include periods in the name of this filter file, but according to the tutorial, this is allowed.

Anyway, this file seems to have no effect. I've also tried putting these rules directly in my /etc/maildroprc file, which strangely enough, didn't work either.

That does not surprise me. Try following instructions in maildrop's INSTALL, rather than the results of some random Google search.
